The People Over Parking Act would promote transit-oriented development to reduce our nation's carbon footprint, while advancing green spaces and stormwater management to prepare our cities for a changing climate.

This development, on a site known as “Sanctuary West” or Newark Area 4 must be removed from Newark Housing Element.

Housing policy & climate change policies have often been siloed, but these crises are deeply interconnected.
TNC is co-sponsoring #AB68, a housing bill that addresses the climate crisis. Thank you @AsmChrisWard for your leadership on these issues.

#PartnersAreSaying "There is really nothing like the aerial view to showcase the intersection of the natural and built environment... we can use maps and on the ground images but it just does not tell the story in the same powerful way." - Amanda Brown-Stevens, @gbeltalliance

We’ve been saying this way before there was a consensus: growing cities within urban boundaries (aka infill development) is a powerful way to not only avoid pressure on open spaces but also to improve equitable access to housing, jobs, and infrastructure.
